Perhaps in your past you’ve heard a fair bit about John Calvin (1509-1564) and his teaching on the sovereignty of God and predestination, but you’ve never quite understood his supporters or his detractors. You know that both Calvin’s theology and these doctrines are important, but you are not entirely sure how to get your mind and arms around them. In this little book, Joel Beeke shows us why Calvin’s teaching on God’s sovereignty and predestination is crucial indeed. This is an extended version of an address Dr. Beeke originally gave at the Skogheim Conference in 2009.

Business sense consists of "five freedoms," says Dan Thomas, President of FOCUS. Success depends on exercising each freedom in developing strategy, systems, organization, and personnel selection.

Now he lends his expertise to help you make the decisions that can mean the difference between prosperity and failure in your organization.

During this outstanding presentation, Dr. Hawkins explains the difference between the phrase, "Glory be to Thee" and "Glory be to me", saying it is the difference between heaven and hell. He also expands on the kinesiological response as being about the essence of something, not about what it appears to be. Additionally, he expands on the topic of surrender: what it means and how to incorporate it into one’s life on a daily basis.

In this lecture, Dr. Hawkins presents some basic ideas, such as the fact that everything happens spontaneously and that nothing causes anything. Everything is an automatic consequence of the energy field. He shows how the power of one’s intention brings about manifestation, and how potentiality becomes actuality in and of itself because of the field. He explains the use of kinesiology, why people may not believe in it, and how the infinite field of consciousness instantly registers truth.

In this eye-opening presentation, Dr. Hawkins discusses the difference between relativism and reality. Relativism claims that perception is reality, whereas reality discerns the essence of something (or an idea) from its appearance. Dr. Hawkins points out that what you think about, value, or how you label something is irrelevant. This revealing talk invites you to remain with the essence of things, and not with perception or individual viewpoint.
